Hazard won the Premier League title under the self-styled Special One at Stamford Bridge, and he is already looking forward to a reunion with his old boss.

“Mourinho is a fantastic manager,” Hazard said. “I wish him good luck for the next season.

“I can’t wait and just want to play against Manchester United. He’s a good manager with a lot of experience. He’s at a big club now and he will just want to win games.”

Hazard endured a disappointing season for Chelsea as the club failed to mount a title defence and missed out on European qualification.

He didn’t score his first goals in the Premier League until April and was below-par for much of the campaign – although he did show glimpses of his old form towards the tail-end.

There has been talk the 25-year-old could move on in the summer – but Hazard insists, like fellow Belgian Thibaut Courtois, he fully expects to remain at Chelsea after talks with incoming boss Antonio Conte.
